seriously, 

I'm wondering if this school was one of those "gun-free" zones

UPDATE:  Yup, looks to be that the campus was a gun-free zone.  No guns on campus. (http://www.theblaze.com/stories/2013/04/09/student-hammers-no-guns-on-campus-policy-on-live-tv-after-college-stabbings-we-would-love-to-have-god-the-law-on-our-side/)

Wow! 14 people! Thats half a mag!

If he only had a 10 knife mag, he would have to reload allowing others valuable seconds to escape.

Or two 7-rd mags for all the Cuomo maroons.

so you wanna ban guns?  he used a knife similar to an exacto blade!!!  exacto blades are like an inch long.  Perhaps we should ban forks and steak knifes... 

I bet if it wasn't a 'gun free zone' there would have been only one casualty.

and toothpicks, don't forget those.

We should start with banning Assault Knives.  Those things do NOT need to be on our streets!

Think of the children, for goodness sake!!

to be fair, they did ban automatic knives in many states

+1 on a serious note...very tragic.

The solution is simple guys. We need to ban knives. No more new knife sales and all existing knives should be federally registered and licensed. All public areas should be knife free zones.  Its the only way to protect the children from knife wielding madmen...

"It's pretty terrifying," Clayton said as he left campus with his parents, saying he would return when classes resumed Wednesday. The attack was scary, he said, but school officials "handled it perfectly."


Yep, the school officials really did handle it perfectly.  They made sure everyone in the area was unarmed and unable to protect themselves from a strong psycho with a small knife and they made sure not to be anywhere near the area where it happened.  Perfect!

to be fair, they did ban automatic knives in many states

sure, because automatic knifes can stab and slash so much faster then a fixed blade or one with a quillion or one which is assisted opened...   

How did he get stopped?  Did he get his ass shot?

Edit. Read the article.  Students man-handled his ass.  interesting article.

Ban knives now!!!!

Let's see if the politicians will push for an assault knife ban.

Even though there are lots of assault knives out there already, a ban on any future sales would be effective, because those that are already in the community will become dull.  They will be "used up"- like magazines- and those grandfathered in would quickly become useless . 

EDIT: DId i say assault knives, I meant Exacto knives....

Knowing how ridiculous these politicians are theyd probably try spin it by saying, "Nobody died because he only used a knife, not a gun."

Aren't knives also "arms"?

TSA stopped me at a security checkpoint this year because I had an E2D LED Surefire light in my carry on.  Apparently it was too sharp for them.  Funny (no not ha ha funny) is I had carried the same light through the same checkpoint for about three months + a trip to Vegas.

Never underestimate what a politician thinks is reasonable.

Citizens cannot be trusted with sharp things. Good citizen, give us the sharp things. There, there. It is for your own good.
